The Future Professionals Advisory Committee (FPAC) is composed of a student representative from Pennsylvania colleges/universities with Health and Physical Education teacher preparation programs.

Members of this committee will serve as liaisons between SHAPE PA and their colleges/universities. Their duties include monthly zoom meetings, reporting back to their universities, involvement with SHAPE PA committees, creating professional development opportunities for our future professionals through SHAPE PA, and assisting in projects and tasks assigned by the SHAPE PA Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors (BOD) . 

Through their experiences on the FPAC, the students will work on developing their leadership skills, network with other students from different universities, learn what other PETE/HETE programs are doing and share back to their campuses, develop planning and organizational skills, build teamwork skills, and have the opportunity to be published in the SHAPE PA communications.

Want to attend the 2025 SHAPE PA State Conference but need help covering the cost?

Check out our new Sponsor a Student initiative—designed to help college students like you attend this year’s event with registration, lunch and/or hotel fully covered!

There are two ways to get sponsored:

1. Ask someone to sponsor you directly.
Share our Sponsor a Student page with family, friends, professors, or mentors and ask if they’d be willing to support your trip. When they sign up, they can list your name to ensure the sponsorship goes directly to you. Once a donation is received in your name, we’ll reach out with next steps to get you registered for free.

2. Apply for a general sponsorship.
Some generous donors choose to support students in need without naming a specific person. When you apply, you’ll be added to our pool of eligible students. If selected, we’ll contact you with next steps.

Sponsorship availability depends on how many donations we receive—so apply early!
Note: You must be a SHAPE PA member to apply for a general sponsorship.

Want to get involved at the 2025 SHAPE PA State Conference and save on registration? Apply to be part of our GO TEAM, the volunteer crew that helps things run smoothly behind the scenes.

In exchange for volunteering just one day of the two-day event, you’ll get 50% off your conference registration.

It’s a fun, easy way to connect, contribute, and save!

Full details and the application will be available here by September 1, 2025. Stay tuned!
